When the going gets rough on the overcrowded floor of the New York Stock Exchange, brokers with any ailments-sprained shoulders, sunburns or broken arms-pin red crosses on sleeve or back to warn off scurrying colleagues. Last week even brokers thus armed could hardly avoid a jostling. In furious trading inspired by the new bull market, volume on the exchange in one day leaped to 7,080,000 shares, highest mark in 5½ years. The tape ran late so often that the warning clock that signals the tape's tardiness was lit for hours at a stretch...

But audiences in Israeli movie houses booed news films of Ben-Gurion, cheered those of Lavon. Nevertheless, last week Ben-Gurion was prepared to resume his post as Prime Minister when he was disconcertingly balked: four...
...proposal split the Tories almost as badly as it did the Rhodesians. A group of 97 backbenchers, including not only the usual hard core of empire tub thumpers but an important moderate bloc as well, introduced a motion in Commons urging Macleod to go slow. The right wing was furious at Macleod and hinted that he might be forced to resign. Snapped Columnist Peregrine Worsthorne in the Sunday Telegraph: "He actually seems to be enjoying the job of presiding over the dissolution of the British Empire...
